Yuvraj is a great teacher with a wealth of experience and wisdom to share. I found our lessons to be a great enhancement for my piano learning and I always look forward to them. I would highly recommend anybody to consider working with him!
Yuvraj is a great teacher, for the first lesson we figured out together my current level and we set up a plan for the next lessons, I also enjoyed the exercices that he gave me.
In 2 month so far my technique has improved a lot. Juvraj has a remarkable ability to adapt their teaching style to suit individual learning preferences. As an intermediate level student with aspiration to learn different styles, I can say that the diverse range of techniques and musical genres that we discuss during the lessons keep the experience engaging and enriching. I also appreciate the thoughtfulness behind each lesson as he knows how to pick pieces tailored to my goals.
Yuvraj is a wonderful teacher! I've been studying piano for half a year with him, and the progress never stops. He teaches everything that you need to be a pianist, including the technique, classical theory, jazz theory, as well as how to find good new songs. Within the few months that I've had him, he quickly took me from having zero practical music knowledge to being able to read and play Trinity grade 3 songs on my own.
Yuvraj always tries to make piano something fun and enjoyable, rather than just another annoying thing to grind all the time. This is the guy for those who want to learn with a relaxed, slow and steady attitude. Even better if you're down to challenge yourself with new, unconventional music that you might not expect. While I don't really have anything to compare him to, I am very happy learning piano with Yuvraj.
Really nice lesson, Yuvraj is a patient and clear teacher!
The lessons will delve into both the technical and musical aspects of piano playing, theory, reading music, harmony, ear training, technique, pedagogy and more. My aim is to equip students to understand different music styles, build confidence, discover their unique voice and continue their musical journey independently. As Thelonious Monk said, the piano ain’t got no wrong notes.
I'm passionate about traversing genres since I have studied both jazz and classical to a high level, making this class perfect for creative pianists and composers who want to go beyond reading music off a piece of paper. Trinity/ABRSM curriculum upto Grade 8, can also be optionally included. Teaching effective practice methods is a priority, ensuring students progress confidently and without leaning on me. Please note, I only teach in person to maintain high standards of guidance in technique. This is not possible via video conferencing. Since everyone asks: yes, I did study at Berklee College of Music as an undergraduate for some time, and I do help students out with their audition preparation for various music colleges!
Currently, my students are between 14 and 44 years old— I believe that it’s never too late or too early to begin your musical journey. I look forward to your requests and have only one vacant spot remaining in my roster for Spring/Summer 2024. Book now!

Lessons to teach Arabic to native and non-native speakers, teaching the Holy Quran with Tajweed.We will learn the basics of the Arabic language from letters until we start reading to a high level. We also speak in classical Arabic to develop the skill of speaking Arabic using modern teaching strategies and methods.
From the first class, the student can speak Arabic. I rely in my lessons on the Nooraniyah rule if the guardian wants to teach his son to read the Holy Quran, and also a special curriculum for the student who does not speak Arabic.
If the guardian wishes to teach Arabic reading, writing, and grammar, praise be to God, we follow a group of books, at the top of which is Arabic in Your Hands, Basic Education, and Arabic Lessons, and there are other curricula from which you can choose what suits the student’s needs.
In each class, we must practice the four language skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking, in an atmosphere of interaction between me and the student.
I can help you with your Arabic and Quran requirements.
I can explain the Quran to Arabic speaking students before they start memorizing.
My life is full of courses, meetings and readings in this field so that I can be qualified to do so, so that I can help you and you can progress as well.
I can give you advice away from the routine of work to achieve your self, succeed and be creative in your life through my experience and dealing with children.
This field is not only for learning a language, but it also gives us the abilities and will to succeed in life. The language of the Qur’an, which God has honored, makes us read and memorize the Qur’an to understand God’s messages to us.
We seek to learn to refine behavior and develop skills so that we may become a nation of readers, as our noble Messenger loved.
I memorize the Qur’an by dictation first for those who do not read, then by spelling after giving a set of lessons to the student so that he can spell directly from the Qur’an.

Quality French lessons from a professional tutor with a lot of experienceI have an approach where the goal is to pass the test/ exam or another goal. We always look at what the student needs first, that way I know the best way to help. This way we make the best use of the time.
We first discuss what the problem might be. Is the subject matter unclear, are you missing the basic knowledge needed to continue learning, do you not have enough exercises or do you not know how to go about it all? Depending on that, I determine the strategy needed to achieve results in the long run.
I am someone who is patient and understanding. The most important thing for me is that the student feels comfortable, only then we can make progress together. This way I take away the fear of making mistakes, and the student achieves a better command of the language.
Are you afraid that online tutoring is difficult for concentration? No worries, my job is to keep the student attentive and keep the tutoring fun and challenging at the same time.
ps: are you from another country? During July and August I also teach French and other languages overseas. Contact me for more information.
